Trinity Clinic Whitehouse Automatic Refill Policy April, 2007

Transcription

1 Trinity Clinic Whitehouse Automatic Refill Policy April, 2007 Overview The following pages contain details on how to administer our automatic refill policy. Our intent is to streamline, standardize and reduce waiting times for refills of medications. The policy emphasizes standard times and rules for refills that should result in improved safety and quality of care. The medications are listed by generic and trade names and have attached a time during which the patient must have had an office visit in order to obtain an automatic refill from nursing staff. If the patient has not been seen within this time frame, a one-month supply of medication may be sent by nursing staff to the pharmacy of the patient s choice, but the patient must schedule an office visit within that month before any additional refill is issued. Under the following circumstances, an automatic, nurse-approved refill may NOT be given. The request should be forwarded to the treating physician in the form of a phone note: 1) There is a NO SHOW as the most recent visit in the chart. 2) A Trinity Clinic Whitehouse physician is not the original prescribing physician 3) The patient insists on doctor s review for a denial based upon protocol rules 4) The medication is in one of the following classes (these medications do not appear on the protocol): Narcotics Oral steroids Benzodiazepines Mood stabilizers (bipolar) Antibiotics Rheumatology drugs (lupus, RA) ADD medication/triplicate Sleeping pills Please note: for antihypertensive medications, the patient must have had an in-person or virtual office visit within the past 6 months AND their last blood pressure reading in the flowsheet within that past 6 months must be less than 140 systolic AND less than 90 diastolic. This will ensure that patients are not missing their short-term follow-up visits for blood pressure medication titration. If at any time there is a question about how to apply the policy, the default is to send the matter/question to the treating physician in the form of a phone note.
